I report what I hear, and I’d post all the above again too — as at time it was all stuff I was hearing regularly. The naivety about how much is tossed spring this time of year is incredible. The hill stuff was 💯 from someone AT the club AT the time, just like Henry early in year was seen as a lock, before he balled out and value tripled and Freo tanked, things change things. McDonald trade fell through due to various reasons. Anderson was wishful thinking from many, it’s reported here ALWAYS with the pretext of intelligent ppl understanding how little of what’s discussed comes to fruition.. haters are advised to ignore, it’s that simple. Mamma Mia 🤦♂️ -
I can’t say — as in I don’t know. But we can all hope and dream! But I walked away with knowledge that either Dees or Saints were gonna have a big big win this off-season, as that’s what I was lead to blv, but fact club are trying super hard is enough for me as I have faith if they have a plan, they’ll execute.

Demons have something cooking… had one of the most heartwarming wry grins I’ve seen in a LONG time last night —- in response to a question about how we’re gonna fill these list spots & why were no longer in frame for pick 4 — suddenly I feel warm and fuzzy inside… Lets hope it wasn’t just to perk me up a bit.. keep an eye on the headlines folks! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Technically, yes

Adem Yze has been appointed HC of RFC, been nice having OOZE back in the fold.. as matchday coach it’s gonna be interesting as to whom we get in to replace him! Nathan Buckley sitting in on interview is an interesting sidenote. Meant to reply to current thread or start new one but I’m sure that’ll get sorted. Ooze will definitely be missed, but we obviously already had contingencies — Chaplin to matchday role is most likely. Dew would be my pick.. plus I love the irony of it — some interesting names being bandied about that’s for sure but Chaplin seems like the guy, big hole to fill either way, Could be a good thing to get some new blood but what is everyone else thinking? I’m still numb TBH, but here’s hoping a left field acquisition into fwd line or coaching ranks can bring us back from the depths of despair!!!

It’s not a skill loss it’s mental fortitude issue. again, game conditions CANNOT be replicated, only fitness and routine - the pressure of goal kicking is 90% the issue at our club, outside of the perennial offenders!

He’s the one we missed and I still don’t get why else didn’t go hard but it also makes me wonder why.. there’s something brewing that’s for sure but damned If I can find out this recruitment team are extremely tight lipped right now, perhaps we didn’t envisage the cap space and Grundy going but mud suspicion is if he’s not signed 4-6wks later than he was. We’d of come hard!

Not gonna have many left, looking fwd to how to top-up, haven’t heard much about the lambs as they obv were going to alter depending on outcome — I trust our recruiting team more than any other part of the club, so let’s see what they bring in!

I’d be having our flag and May over Jesse ANY day, was wrapped for him but we got MAX reward for his value and Freo got nothing for him. We could’ve gotten him back after that and THAT is where we missed boat. How we chose Chandler, Spargo over Bedford was one I’ve never understood, but he was told he’d be behind only Kossie this year, we would’ve played him weekly this year that’s a fact. He just didn’t blv us. Petty plays this finals we win both by 2-4 goals — no doubts about it. Grundy recruitment was wrong purely based on fact our info re interchange going to 5 was wrong, but I hope we realise we’re better off keeping him than pk22 — I still think we need him.

Our fwds know how to do this, but our strategy is fwd half game thus ALL we do is about making that happen. we kick straight we win BOTH finals EASY!!! It’s that simple. Mcadam a good TM’s tart, all else we need is Yze replacement, Brown/Tommo/Harmes/TMac contracts gone & we can rebuild our war chest to go again. with those funds we need May replacement in 2024-25, ball users on outside & 1 More contested mark/solid finishing fwd. Do this and we’re good for another 4-6 YEARS yet. As for Gerard Healy, anyone whom doesn’t know — we treated his brother really poorly as captain in his eyes and he’ll always hate us for that. The hate is now less obvious ergo under surface as he often tries to be pro-Melb but as his choke quote highlights, inside he still hates us.
